that can wont slide under the gfx deflated, I am writing an indepth tech article on teh install of how i did it so when i'm done i'll let anyone who wants it get a copy, it really has been bolt on aside from mounting the comp, tank, valves and whatnot, i am going to have to run a ground off each individula sending unit sinc emy pressure on the panel is fluctuating, candy, iroc2nv, slammed z, can i go right off the post on the unit and run em to a ground?

Yep it all fits

87orange, $1992.10 shipped and insured with a hat, shirt and remote option.

I cna get teh wheels dipped for a little over a hundred a piece, then i'll paint the spokes, only 16's i've found i liked are 250 a piece adn why pay that for teh same size when i can just refinish the wheels, they are all straight and unabused just have ****ty clear on em, i'll wait for the wheels since 725 a wheel plus a few g's for the big brakes and tehn big meats out back...I have other expenses and projects i need to finish before i drop that...they look bigger than 16's now

That looks awesome! The car's gonna have an awesome stance. The wheels do look a little bigger than 16's, and thats a good thing. I love your car and all the work that you've done to it. Someday, I hope to have my car that clean. Great job

two comments here. First off the install looks really clean and since it hides under the spare tire location I'm really digging that. Plus it'll keep a cleaner install. Secondly, before you have them re-chromed I would look into removing all the clearcoat with aircraft aluminum stripper and see if that's the aluminum that's peeling, or just the crappy factory coatings. i bet you could polish them up in your spare time and save the money. i've brought back worse looking rims than those. Overall I give the car 2

looks good man.

I only have one worry for you....when that compressor gets hot, your lines may suffer and your air tank may suffer with the heat.

Aside from that, its nice and clean..although, points wont be in your favour, judges like to see the setup.

Im not sure about grounding, i havent taken a good look at mine, and being brutally honest, i didnt install my own and when my buddy was doing it i wasnt there.
